Battery Charger What the ????

[Racer 1966]

I was planning on taking my son to the track for some practice and fun today but that got thrown in the crapper. My battery charger went belly up AGAIN! What the ___

Originally I was using a Venom Pro charger. Then one day I went to charge a LiPo battery for my son and charged a few seconds then stopped. When trying to charge again it would do the battery check then flash the start up Venom Pro Charger screen and then just sit there. I could adjust all of the setting but it made no difference,it wouldn't charge.

Now I have a Team Orion Clubman LiPo Edition. I started charging a LiPo again today. It charged for maybe 20 min when I checked it and was still charging fine. I checked back again a few minutes later and it was off. I reconnected and checked the plug in and came back on. Now when I try to charge a battery it too does the battery check then flashes the start up screen. Again I can change adjustments but it won't charge any type of battery.

Now I'm ticked off for 2 reasons,one because it has a problem and two,Venom replaced the other under warranty but I need $$$ for Dr. bills so I just sold it last week

Anyone have any idea as to what's happening to my chargers?

How are you powering them? If it's an AC power supply, it could be having a voltage regulator problem spiking the charger.

The Venom was using a Venom power supply I picked up from SNG. The Orion would not run off the Venom supply due to it putting out 15.32v and only being able to have15.0v. At first I just used my car battery then I picked up a used Eagle Racing 14amp power supply for cheap and have been using it lately.
Don't the chargers have a spike protection? They can sense if a battery is over/under voltage,if there's even a battery hooked up,if you hook it up backward and I know it that it told me the input was too high with the Venom supply.
